The '''Phosbat''' is a creature found in [[Pikmin 3]], and is the infant form of the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. It bears some notable resemblances to the adult form, including its orange wings, black, hairy head, and big bulging eyes that squint when exposed to light. The noises the Phosbat emits is also similar to that of the adult form. Its legs are stumpy, similar to those of the adult, but it lacks proper arms. It also lacks fluorescent lights upon its head, and only two fangs are visible in its mouth. | |||
Phosbats | Phosbats can only live in dark environments, such as caves, and will take continuous damage as long as they are exposed to light. Therefore, they can easily be dealt with by throwing Pikmin at [[Common Glowcap]]s found in the caves where they grow. This will cause them to spring up and make a light source, scattering and damaging, potentially killing, all nearby Phosbats. | ||
Phosbats are first found by [[Charlie]] in the [[Distant Tundra]], being the first enemy to be seen in the game, and are later encountered again by [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]], during the fight with the Vehemoth Phosbat, where they are spawned by Phosbat Pods. The pods are only activated after two of the smaller lights have been turned on, so it is possible, and preferable, not to encounter the Phosbats during this battle. After the boss is defeated, the pods close up and Phosbats are not encountered for the remainder of the game. | |||
A group of 16 Phosbats can be found in Defeat the Enemies mode for [[Beastly Cavern]]s, directly under Alph's starting position. | |||
==Battle Strategy == | |||
Phosbats are always found in groups, and Glowcaps are always nearby. Therefore, the quickest way to defeat them is by touching the caps with either a Captain or a Pikmin, thus casting light over an area, damaging all Phosbats in the radius. If some are left alive, and chances are that a few will, then any type of Pikmin can be thrown at the creature's back to defeat it, similar to a [[Dwarf Bulborb]]. | |||

Phosbats don't attack very often, and the area that they can cover with one bite is minimal. This makes them easy to defeat without any Pikmin deaths. If a Pikmin is caught, there is a good amount of time before the creature will swallow it, providing the opportunity to kill it with lights or another Pikmin. | Phosbats don't attack very often, and the area that they can cover with one bite is minimal.

{{ | * Unlike [[Bulborb Larva]], another child form of a boss, to the [[Empress Bulblax]], Phosbats eat Pikmin at drastically-slow rates, only capable of eating a single Pikmin on an average of 8 seconds. | ||
* The Phosbat is shown on the icon for Defeat Enemies mode at Beastly Caverns. | |||
* Phosbats resemble their adult variation. Therefore, they are not considered larvae, but are rather considered nymphs, | |||
